Robotic radical hysterectomy sterling hospitals ahmedabad — What is robotic radical hysterectomy?
Robotic radical hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus, cervix, surrounding parametrium and pelvic lymph nodes for the treatment of cervical cancer. The procedure is performed using the da Vinci robotic platform, which offers magnified 3D vision, tremor-filtered instruments and improved access to deep pelvic structures compared with open surgery.
The procedure is performed by a fellowship-trained gynaecological oncosurgeon — Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel — at Sterling Hospitals, with full multidisciplinary back-up including medical oncology, radiation oncology, anaesthesia, pathology and radiology.

Who is a candidate for robotic radical hysterectomy?
robotic radical hysterectomy is indicated for early-stage cervical cancer, selected high-risk endometrial cancer. The decision to proceed is individualised after review of:
- Histopathology / biopsy reports confirming diagnosis and grade
- Imaging (ultrasound, CT or MRI) to assess local extent and stage
- Tumour markers (CA-125, CEA, HE4 — where relevant)
- Performance status, comorbidities and patient preferences (including fertility wishes)
- Prior treatment history (neoadjuvant chemotherapy, prior surgery)
For an individualised assessment, please bring all of these reports to your consultation, or share them on WhatsApp in advance.
What to expect with robotic radical hysterectomy
The advantage of robotic radical hysterectomy, when correctly indicated, is smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay (typically 3-4 days vs 6-8 days for open surgery), faster return to normal activity. The typical patient journey at Sterling Hospitals looks like this:
- Initial consultation — review of reports, examination, plan discussion (45–60 minutes).
- Investigations — any additional imaging or tests required to complete staging.
- Multidisciplinary discussion — case reviewed at tumour board where appropriate.
- Surgery planning — admission, pre-op review with anaesthesia, consent discussion.
- Surgery and recovery — procedure performed at Sterling Hospitals; hospital stay typically 3–4 days for minimally invasive cases, longer for cytoreductive or HIPEC procedures.
- Follow-up — first review at 1–2 weeks post-discharge, then 3-monthly for 2 years, then 6-monthly to year 5.
